Opening our 62nd Chamber Series, the Pacifica Quartet returns to FCM after its stunning performance of the complete Beethoven Quartet cycle on our series in 2012. With its virtuosity, exuberant performance style, and often-daring repertory choices, the Pacifica is a beloved member of the FCM family. In 2006 the quartet was awarded a prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant, and was named “Ensemble of the Year” by Musical America in 2009.
